Abstract
In the present study variability parameters and association of grain mineral (Ca and Mg) with yield and its attributing traits were determined for fifty pearl millet genotypes at CCS, Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif 2020. Grain Ca content, grain yield/plant and dry fodder yield/plant were found to have high heritability along with genetic advance as percent of mean. A positive correlation was found for grain yield with 1000- seed weight but a negative and non-significant correlation with Ca and Mg content of grain indicating that these could be improved without compromising grain yield/plant. Highly significant and positive association between Ca and Mg content suggested that both these traits can be simultaneously improved. The lines viz., HMC-94-2, GP-69, GP-80, GP-70 and HMC-283 with high grain yield/plant (>30g) along with moderately high grain Ca (>115 mg/kg) and Mg (>1600 mg/kg) content were identified in present study.
